Placeholder Image Generator
Generate a placeholder image at any exact width and height, in any color, with a centered label. Great for mockups, wireframes and development while real images aren't ready yet.
How to Use the Placeholder Image Generator
- Enter the exact width and height you need, in pixels.
- Pick a background color and text color.
- Optionally type a custom label — otherwise it defaults to "{width} x {height}."
- Click "Download PNG" to save the placeholder image.
Why Use This Tool?
What is a placeholder image used for?
Placeholder images stand in for real photos or graphics while a website, app or design mockup is still under construction — showing exactly the dimensions a final image will occupy so developers and designers can build and test layouts before content is ready. Instead of relying on a third-party placeholder service that requires an internet connection and shows ads or watermarks, this tool generates the image locally and instantly.
Can I set any width and height?
Yes, you can enter any pixel dimensions from small icons up to large hero-banner sizes. The canvas resizes to your exact values and the label automatically centers itself, scaling its font size proportionally so it stays readable at any dimension.
Can I use a custom label instead of the dimensions?
Yes. Leave the label field blank to automatically show the image's width and height (e.g., "600 x 400"), or type your own text — such as "Hero Image" or "Product Photo" — to label the placeholder with something more descriptive for your team.
Is this free and does it require internet access after loading?
Yes, this tool is completely free with no signup, and once the page has loaded, image generation happens 100% locally in your browser with no server requests — nothing about your project is uploaded or stored.
